And where's this frame buffer thang? you are probibly using it, as that is the default driver that gets you 8 bit, and if you have a color "lilo splash screen, you are using frame buffer then. If you have 8 bit color at least. I just realized, is this "shared video mem? are you correctly passing the amount of available system ram to the Kernel at boot? (lilo append should have a "mem=xxxM" where xxx equals amount of system memory installed minus amount of shared video mem?)
